Are you a good guitarist?

[MrDB]

I'm not slow. I'm not fast. I'm kinda half fast

[Deliberate1]

I am a poor judge of such things.
But you could ask my dog. Whenever I take out my guitar, he trots over and begins to nibble on the back of my right hand.

I’m with you! I consider myself a hack, so if Glenn is a hack I’m about 10,000 rings below a hack.

I am part of an experiment to find out how far somebody with absolutely no talent can go by just hard work and practice. To be determined.

Not by a longshot. I will say that I had two teenage girls (GF's cousins) hanging on my every note at an Easter family gathering. . . I was just noodling around, but they were really enjoying it.

So I'll take the adulation even if it isn't deserved :P

Unfortunately, they are mistaken.

This! I can relate!!

It depends on the day and/or the songs. Some days eight out of ten songs sound great, other days only two of the same ten songs sound good. But as long as I play daily, overall I have more good days than bad.

I’m not much of a guitarist. I’m not exactly BAD, but I’m extremely limited. Within those limits I play with a bit of taste but that’s about the best I can say about myself. Definitely wouldn’t call myself a “good” guitarist, but I’m good enough to really enjoy myself, and that’s all I got into it for, so I guess I’m good enough…

"Good" is a very subjective word. I know enough that be able to say that when someone calls me "good", they have a lot to learn. I like to use the word "accomplished" instead. What does that mean? Not much other than I am not at the very bottom of the heap.

[ssstewart]

yes, a legend in my own mind

[TBman]

I'm a solid maybe

Seriously though, music isn't a contest to see who is who, it's something for us all to enjoy regardless of playing level.

[rmp]

I wipe up the floor with my other self all the time...



but,, ya know like Barry says, this aint no contest, and this aint no disco.... for that fact..

-- I've been playing a long time, eventually something had to stick???!!?

I think I like what Tommy E. said about this the most.

"We're all here to help each other"

so lets play!!!

I've been playing guitar since I was 12 or 13. I'll be 65 this year and I still suck.

But I enjoy the heak out of it.

[Mycroft]

I too aspire of rising to the level of not sucking...

I enjoy your playing Barry, I could listen to it all day.
